Satellite Power Loss

Satellite Power Loss refers to the reduction in electrical power output of a satellite, which can occur due to various factors. This loss can affect the satellite’s ability to perform its functions, such as communication, navigation, and data gathering.

The causes of satellite power loss may include degradation of solar panels due to exposure to radiation in space, malfunctioning power systems or batteries, or physical obstructions that block sunlight. Power loss can lead to reduced operational capabilities, compromised mission objectives, and an overall decrease in the satellite’s lifespan.

Monitoring and mitigating power loss is crucial for maintaining the functionality of satellites in orbit, and strategies can include using backup systems, optimizing power management, and implementing robust design features to enhance resilience against power loss.
